Dawn in the Dragon World

[Darkyvm]

Title says everything. The dawn of a new day in the dragon world.

Credits to olofmoleman for the lindormr dragon model.

Edit: Fixed the problem with the sky and changed the terrain a bit.

As i said before this is the best work you have done! I still dont know if the dragon is eating grass or is that his tail :/

You can clearly see the sky is stretching to the left. Otherwise I think it's great with the exception that I can't see if it's the front or back of the dragon.

Waaaaaaay to much Shrubs. Try to avoid Doodad spam...

Anyway i like it.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

this is kinda good.

i like the doodad spam. however, you have the rock texture in the front. It creates a strange feeling when looking at it. You should cover that with grass too, that way it looks like a hill, or the edge before a cliff.

the sky should be worked on. I suggest getting some fog, and a fogged sky.

 

[Darkyvm]

The problem with the sky is a glitch in the world editor that happens when you zoom out too much, I'll mess with the terrain outside the picture a little to see if I can get a good angle without having to zoom out the cam.

thedeathunterxx, there is a very light yellow fog, and the reason I didn't use fogged sky is because I wanted it to look like it was in another world, not in Azeroth.

Oh, and also, that is the back of the dragon, he is looking at the sun.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

ohh makes sence lol

now it looks better, i like how its a hill now

The dragon is far too boring and flat. All you see is a rounded butt. You need to find a better view/angle of the dragon, to focus it on the dragon to grab emotional and powerful factors of the dragon.

Aye, it looks kind of cool but it is incredibly simple. A bunch of the same doodads covering a hill with the back of a depressed-looking dragon. You call this "Dawn of the Dragon World" This implies a more powerful feeling than what the picture is currentl showing I think.

In case someone might have thought that I forgot this thread and ignored the last comments, I did not. I'm going to put new screenshots with a better view of the dragon, I just need to work on the rest of the environment of the dragon world because right now, the only thing in the terrain is that hill.
I ran out of ideas for it, but I've been looking at some fantasy pictures and I think I've found the inspiration I needed. Expect an update with new screens soon.

Looks like the rock closest to the camera is floating. Maybe you can put som more variation into the environment, like adding trees and having different types of plants and grass.

I only have two issues with the current (as of this date) image.

1. The dragon butt - yeah now we know why they are called dragons, because their tails are a drag'n behind them. I do not know the model you are working with, is it at all possible to get his head up over his body? If so then get an image with head up. If not then get a side profile view so we can see what that critter is really looking at/doing.

2. That single rock sticking out of the heath/heather in the fore ground. Sink that puppy a wee bit.


I find the 'spam' of that single shrub type to work - but then I have been to the highlands and know that whole hills can be covered with heather. I have also been to the coasts of Northern California where vast areas are covered in a heath/heather type plant and in some seasons it is just 'greenery'.

Thus the over all feel I pick up from this particular image is a Scottish Dragon of Old in the highland heathers.

 

[~Void~]

Meh, is that the only hill for miles? Otherwise you would be able to see a few more in the background.

 

[Rifle-Man]

cool. I wonder how much it lagz because of the grass.
